What is this caterpillar?

Didn't get a picture but, it's about an inch long, is yellow with black marking that makes it look like a snakes head. we found it puffed up it's "head" and moved like a snake, it has black dot's that look like eyes and it's antenna looks like a forked tongue. I found it in my yard in Western North Carolina. Have live here all my life and never seen one like it. can you tell me what it is or give me a link so I can fine out?

Update:

thank you! I found out it is a spicebush swallowtail caterpillar. most common in Western Tenn. but seem all over Southeast.

    HA HA HA! I bought it. They feel the moth is both grasp gliding or in an plane... Very well! I'd take it caterpillars wish their one hundred or so legs on terra firma. (And with matters the way in which they're at present, are not able to say I blame them!)
